Man assaulted with glass jar at Santa Paula gas station

A glass jar was broken over a man's head during a fight at a Santa Paula gas station Friday night, authorities said.

The incident, which was initially reported as a stabbing involving four people, took place shortly before 10:30 p.m. at the Arco station at 806 W. Harvard Boulevard, the Santa Paula Police Department said Monday.

When officers arrived, they found no one had been stabbed, authorities said. Instead, they determined the victim, a 26-year-old Santa Paula man, had a jar broken over his head. A witness told police two male suspects had been in a fight with the man. The victim was taken to Ventura County Medical Center with injuries that were not life-threatening, authorities said.
